Good posture will make you look instantly better on the beach. Invest in
swimwear with 'secret support' for a streamlined silhouette. A lick of fake
tan never hurts either.

An oversized scarf doubles perfectly as a
beach cover-up and will keep the chill off
your shoulders (or act as a pillow!) when
travelling. Take a few; they won't take up
much room in your case.

"When you figure out your suitcase, you
figure out your life," said fashion designer
Diane von Furstenberg . We couldn't agree
more. Spend time planning your outfits and
you will wear everything you take!

Maxi skirts and dresses are great for travellers! Loose, cool
and comfortable, they are comfy to wear and work just as well
with flat sandals as they would with wedges.

If you suffer from hair frizz, be sure to add a dot of serum to
your haircare routine. Wash as normal and concentrate the
formula on the ends. Dry and add a final fine coating if you
think your hair needs it. Experiment with plaits or try a loose
bun. Alternatively, wear a hat or scarf to instantly disguise
frizz.

It's easy to get carried away and end up with
a suitcase-load of printed wonders. Much as
we love prints, it's important to remember
the basics. Simple tees, vests and plain (but
colourful) crops make building outfits easy;
exactly what you need if you're in a hurry to
get out and enjoy the sunshine.
